Beware the ones with that unbreakable faith
you'll know the bunch
they've got it dripping from their mouths
like a paralyzing case of rabies
and they'll look at you with those black and white raccoon eyes
eager for a trial of persuasion
so they can shoot it down
like a pearl harbor plane fighter.
know,
to posses this wisdom
is to become a hated minority of the times
and those that carry the faith like fire will seek to save you
but their warmness and friendship will be like loving a scarecrow
eventually they will push you to do something radical
and all will stand in awe
like statues as you burn their sacred icons in a heavenly fire.
but it's not enough
no
it will never be enough
and soon you will fade into the background of history
like a photo in sunlight on the dash of a car.
ideals will lose their meaning
change will become a myth that scales with technology
culture will die
romance will become a foolish art
and the faithless will be forced to heave a heavy smile
years will pass like this
and you will almost die of boredom
but one day when your just about to kick it forever
some kid will print your face on a magazine or newspaper
and zing you are a revolutionary
and the faithful come running
